Danielle Dials is the owner of the beauty & skincare  brand, ?Danielle Renèe.?  She launched the brand online, which focuses on natural skincare, bath, and beauty products, during the 2020 pandemic. Many of the products are made with natural and plant based ingredients. A year later, Danielle left her 22-year TV news career at Fox 10 to pursue entrepreneurship full-time. She says the skills she learned during her experience at FOX 10 have helped tremendously in building a brand from the ground up. Her experience includes TV production, web writing, directing, on-air branding, hosting, producing newscasts & content, and advertising sales. 
Danielle says she decided to build a business around skincare, beauty, and selfcare for a few reasons. For one, these are things that help women and men feel more confident about themselves. She says she also wanted to bring something new to the community. Danielle Renèe?s first storefront opened on Shelton Beach Road in Saraland in October 2021.
